Smoke Alarm Batteries

Smoke Alarm Batteries

Arizona does not change their clocks for daylight savings time. I’ve never bothered to research why but I would have to guess it has something to do with Arizona having enough daylight and no need to save any. Until 3:30 this morning, I never really gave it much thought other then having to do a little extra math to determine the time in other parts of the country.

Traditionally, consumers are advised to change their smoke alarm batteries when they change their clocks for daylight savings time. Well, what if you don’t do daylight savings time? You become me. You totally forget to change your smoke alarm batteries until the smoke alarm starts chirping at 3:30 in the morning. The dog goes a little nuts and the husband has to dig the ladder out of the garage. Navigating the kitchen ‘junk’ drawer at 3:30 in the morning to find a 9-volt battery is a challenge.

All of this was a little dose of reality. Don’t become me. Enjoy your sleep. Go buy some batteries. Go check your smoke alarm. Go on. What are you waiting for?
